Moody Stills Photography

We highly recommend Joey! We hired him for our wedding and were blown away! Great lightening, symmetry, and detail in each photo. Joey captured moments of our wedding that we had not seen before. He processed our photos and sent two thumb drives of over 1,000 photos about 3 weeks after the wedding. Thank you again Joey!

Joey is unbelievably talented. We have nothing but wonderful compliments. He was with us for most of the day. He took pictures of me and the brides maids then headed to the groom and the groom’s men, took perfect pictures of the ceremony and reception. He captured great family pictures as well as the traditional wedding pictures. Joey has a great eye for beautiful pictures and was professional the whole time.

We asked Joey to photograph our wedding last April, which was an out-​of-​town event in the Sierras near Reno-​Tahoe. He did a fantastic job recording the events from the Friday pre-​party, then the setup, ceremony, and reception party on Saturday. Since we’re a little «older» and have been through this before, we asked him to concentrate on our family and friends more than on us. He did get a lot of nice photos of the ceremony, and of course the traditional poses with family and the wedding party etc., but he really did a great job capturing candid shots of all of our guests (and us!) just having a great time, exactly what we wanted. These photos are the most fun for us to look at and to share with family and friends, and will remain enjoyable for a long time. Besides having a great eye for composition, he has great timing for capturing fleeting events, and adds to that a mastery of techniques which enables him to artistically capture the excitement and movement of a moment.
Within two weeks of the wedding we received some 1300 photos from him… and they were all good! It took a lot of effort to pare these down to «only» the best 250 or so that we felt wouldn’t be too daunting for others to look through. We’ve received many positive comments and compliments on our wedding photos — many thanks Joey!

Joey photographed our wedding on September 20, and he also did our engagement photos. We love the photos. The day of the wedding, Joey was great — he set up great portraits, and then we hardly noticed him the rest of the day, but he was able to capture a lot of great candids, including good action shots on the dance floor. (A lot of the photographers whose portfolios we looked at were not good at the indoor action shots, but Joey did a great job with that.) Joey has done a lot of portrait work, and our posed shots were wonderful. The photos overall really captured the day — not just what happened, but also the emotion. My stepmother said that a couple of the photos made her start to cry, and my step-​grandmother, who couldn’t be at the wedding, said that the slideshow of Joey’s photos made her feel like she was there.
Joey was very easy to work with: it was easy to set up meetings with him, he let us choose the things we wanted from him rather than forcing us into a package, and he was flexible on the clauses we wanted in the contract. He was very communicative and responsive via e-​mail, from helping us choose our outfits for the engagement photos to confirming the wedding timeline. He came to our rehearsal to help him plan shots for the wedding ceremony. He had the right balance between friendliness and professionalism throughout the process. I have no complaints.
The value for the price was great — our wedding photos were far better than those of friends and family that we know paid 2 or 3 times what we paid, and on par with those of people who paid 4 or 5 times what we paid. His prices may go up as get builds his portfolio and gets more good reviews, but he’d still be worth the money at a higher price.
